Yesterday, the iconic Danish designer Ivan Grundahl was found dead in his home, just one day after his 65th birthday.

Ivan Grundahl was born in the northern part of Denmark but left his birthplace to become a fashion designer. He graduated from The Danish School of Design in 1972 and during his years as a student he worked for the store BeeCee, a high-end Copenhagen-store of the time.

Throughout his career Ivan Grundahl stayed true to his design dna. The female body was the focus of his design and by means of tulle and voluminous silhouettes he managed to create a unique Grundahl-style.

We will miss Ivan Grundahl’s good nature when he showed up after his fashionshows greeting the audience with a glass of wine in his hand.
